This paper presents the results of an experimental-demonstrative research project summarizing three integrated products: an interactive digital map; a reference and record keeping database system; and a set of procedures to enforce the unified application of archaeological heritage protection legislation in Romania. The web-based application constitutes a permanent working tool available to the Romanian Ministry of Culture territorial branch offices, and is freely accessible to specialists and other entities involved in the protection of archaeological heritage, and even to private investors interested in development on land areas having archaeological heritage. The application brings together the organization, systematization, and digitization of all available information about archaeological sites at the national level. This information is otherwise difficult to access because it is structured differently in terms of quantity and quality of data, and stored using different media and formats in several types of non-interconnected institutions. The ArchTerr application significantly reduces the time required to inform, verify, and communicate a decision regarding the presence or absence of archaeological heritage on a particular site. The application ensures the dynamic and automatic real-time bidirectional conversion of geospatial information (Stereo70 and WGS84), and access to unitary and level-structured information, and provides interoperability with other information systems. High-resolution maps allow the non-professional user/investor to access detailed geospatial information about a delimited area, in a timely manner and without the need for field travel, which is a unique feature not found in other European record systems concerning archeological sites. The functionalities of the application developed within the research project, the technical decisions taken, and their implementation method are generally valid. They can be applied in any geographical region because the open source maps used by the technical team cover the world map and the coordinate system used for representation is international. The testing and validation of these functionalities were undertaken using real archaeological data from Romania (data already included in the national heritage representing archaeological sites).

Worldwide adoption of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) portable miniature sensors in routine clinical practice is increasing for type 1 diabetes treatment in children. The commonly used sensors provide the blood glucose concentration and its change rate in real time (samples every 5 minutes or even 1 minute). Due to these sensors we are in position to collect a significant amount of data from various patients. To better process the data, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are used to personalize the patient's recommendation and to create decision support expert system with self-adjustment. The focus of this paper is the system’s architecture and use case scenarios of a research project aimed to develop an Artificial Intelligence expert system based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. The project is developed by a mixed team composed by medical doctors in France and computer science specialists in Romania. By regularly analyze and interpret the CGM data, the decision support expert system will generate detailed reports for doctor and patient use and real-time alerts. One of the key components is the implementation of an auto-adaptive adjustment therapy protocol for type 1 diabetes treatment in children.

This paper introduces a new method for the use of tensor-resistive sensors in large spherical storage tank equipment (over 12,000-mm diameters). We did an experiment with 19 petroleum or ammonia product sphere-shaped storage tanks with volumes of 1000 and 1800 cubic meters, respectively. The existing literature only contains experiments based on sensors for tanks with diameters no larger than 600 mm. Based on a number of resistive strain sensor measurements on large spherical pressurized vessels regarding structural integrity assessment, the present paper is focused on the comparison between "real-life" obtained sensor data versus finite element method (FEM) simulation results. The present paper is structured in three parts and examines innovative directions: the use of the classic tensor-resistive sensors in a new approach concerning large structural equipment; an original 3D modeling method with the help of the FEM; and conclusions with possible implications on the regulations, design, or maintenance as a result of the attempt of mutual validation of the new methods previously mentioned.

Nowadays is becoming trivial to have multiple virtual machines working in parallel on hardware platforms with high processing power. This appropriate cost effective approach can be found at Internet Service Providers, in cloud service providers’ environments, in research and development lab testing environment (for example Universities’ student’s lab), in virtual application for security evaluation and in many other places. In the aforementioned cases, it is often necessary to start and/or stop virtual machines on the fly. In cloud service providers all the creation / tear down actions are triggered by a customer request and cannot be postponed or delayed for later evaluation. When a new virtual machine is created, it is imperative to assign unique IP addresses to all network interfaces and also domain name system DNS records that contain text based data, IP addresses, etc. Even worse, if a virtual machine has to be stopped or torn down, the critical network resources such as IP addresses and DNS records have to be carefully controlled in order to avoid IP addresses conflicts and name resolution problems between an old virtual machine and a newly created virtual machine. This paper proposes a provisioning mechanism to avoid both DNS records and IP addresses conflicts due to human misconfiguration, problems that can cause networking operation service disruptions.

Due to the unprecedented development of information technology, the medical systems have adopted these new technologies and innovations. Thus, medical informatics, telemedicine, eHealth have become terms widely used today and more and more often in the medical systems. In order to make the most of the potential offered by IT in medicine, there is a need to openly interconnect different data processing systems. In order to make this interconnection as efficient as possible, it is necessary to create a common language. This is how the Health Level 7 (HL7) standard and the latest ISO / ANSI HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) version appeared. This paper presents an application to dynamically create web based questionnaires and to collect answers. The medical systems open interconnection is implemented using the HL7 FHIR standards.
